The effect of structural relaxation on the electronic structure of Fe78Si9 B13 metallic glass was investigated by means of the Hall effect, electrical conductivity and EELS methods. The effect of the structural relaxations was observed by four-hour annealing of the samples in argon atmosphere at temperatures 573, 673, 723, 773 K. The most distinct changes in the measured quantities were observed for samples annealed at 773 K. The differences in EELS spectrum, a decrease in the electrical and the Hall resistance are specific to these samples. X-ray diffractometry confirmed that the samples annealed at this temperature show recrystallization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
